CB Radio Grab Bag - Utility Pouch & Solar Powered Generator feat.
Inspired by Gary from 104's Outdoors to show your CB Radio Grab Bag, here is mine. A RadioShack TRC-1014 handheld CB, a T2LT homemade aerial, Midland 26-L speaker mic, swr meter and leads residing in a cheap ebay medical utility cordura pouch.
Also shown is my solar power generator. Made with a plastic Plano ammo box, 12v-12Ah sealed lead-acid battery, solar charge controller and various usb and 12v outputs. Red and white led lights added for night time operation.

มุมมอง 8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
I found out that my 12v battery charger was putting out nearly 16v while charging my batteries!! They were literally sizzling inside! Here I use a DC-DC Boost Buck Converter to lower the output to a much more sensible and safe 13.80v. Here are some specs on the converter I purchased: Input voltage: DC 3-15v Output voltage: DC 0.5-30v Input current: 3A (max) Power: 25W (max) Conversion Efficienc...

Here I'm testing a bank of used 12v batteries to find out the internal resistance and if any are worth keeping or taking to the recycle centre. Generally the lower the internal resistance a battery has the healthier it is, although that didn't seem the case with one particular battery I tested..

    I use V1 - V2 = V3 V2 / R = I V3 / I = Ohms IR Ohms * 1000 = milliOhms . 12.66V1 - 12.36V2 = 0.30V3 voltage drop 12.36 v2 divided by 120ohms resistance or load = 0.10 I amp draw. 0.30V3 voltage drop divided by 0.10 I amp draw = 2.8691 Ohms internal resistance or 2869.13milliohms. I couldn't find the internal resistance of your exact battery but similar models like the UB1222 have an IR rating of 80milliOhms. Those batteries are showing there age.

    Voltage should be measured at the battery terminals, The resistance for the load should factor in the leads that were used. The resistance of the load will change slightly due to heating. Outside of that close enough to get reference measurements compared to the others.

  • @piclife1178
    @piclife1178 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Assuming you don't have one shorted cell in that battery, the reason your good battery limits to 12.03V when charging is probably because it is trying to draw a high initial charge current and your converter/regulator has gone into current limit. Typically a good lead acid / SLA, battery with the low internal resistance will pass a high initial charge current and then increase in voltage slowly as it absorbs the charge. A bad battery gets up to voltage too quickly with a low current. I am surprised how high the resistance is for all of your good batteries, did you say about 2.5 ohms(?) I guess you are using them at very light load as with an internal resistance of about 2.5 ohms you be loosing 6v in the battery for a load of only 2.4 amps.

  • @Xxxcappie23
    @Xxxcappie23 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you need to put a resistor on the battery to calculate the internal resistance. Can't you just put the meter in Ohms scale and find the internal resistance of the battery ?

    • @ΠάριςΑζής
      @ΠάριςΑζής 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Simply NO! Your meter can blow up! (Measuring resistance on a live circuit is prohibited)... And internal resistance cannot be measured in this way...It looks like the ESR of capacitors...

    • @CamelCasee
      @CamelCasee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Needs to be lower resistance, ideally a few hundred milliamps to an amp for batteries of this size to get any useful resolution. Try a 22 ohm 10 watt resistor or maybe a 12 ohm 15 watt, cheap ones from ebay are fine. What do you intend on using the battery for? A worn out battery may still be perfectly fine in low power applications or bench use but unsuitable for others.

    You could also measure the current with the resistor in place. (R1 + R2) = V/I. You measure I, you measure V, R1 is the resistor value, and R2 is the unknown internal resistance. Solve for R2.

    Is this possible to do with a car battery as well? What power resistor to use then? And where did that 120ohm number come from?

    • @CamelCasee
      @CamelCasee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For car batteries you'd need a much lower resistance probably less than 8 ohms and rated for tens of watts (resistor will get very hot if left connected for long). But cars are outside and experience wider temperature swings than indoors, cold in particular will reduce the cold cranking amps so a cold night may be required to get a better picture (let the battery sit out there all night in the freezing cold first).

    You do know that the manufacturer's specified internal resistance is 0.17 Ohms? Quite the difference from 2.91 Ohms. A dead short on a fully charged battery should yield a 73AH drain.

  • @srnunan4783
    @srnunan4783 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the internal resistance was actually 3 Ohms all the time then it would be pulling 4A internally and be flat within 30 minutes when on the bench. The internal resistance is more likely to be <100mOhms. You did identify the dud batteries doing a 100mA load test and your two red dot batteries pulled down to 5v and 11.2v so that shows that open circuit voltage tells you nothing and a load test of some kind gives a better indication of State of health.

    He did the math super fast in the vid. It was 0.1 amps then multiplied by 12v to get the wattage of 1.2. He uses that formula shown in the vid to get his readings. From what I've seen mostly used, Ohms(R) =(v1-v2) / (v1/ohms used for test) using the same drain method to get V2. The results should be in the milliohms for what I have read. The result should match closely to the battery specs, when new of course.

    12V/7.2AH lead acid battery with 12.9V open circuit voltage that I suspect to be gone bad, when connected to a 10W 1R resistor showed 4.3V till I can see on multi meter, the connecting wire to resistor and resistor were very hot, I had to remove the wire. So it was passing 8.9A. It shouldn't be right. Too much of current passing through it.

    • @ΠάριςΑζής
      @ΠάριςΑζής 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A 1Ohm resistor connected across a 12V battery draws 12A from the battery, or consumes 144W of power. In order for it to withstand such power, it should be made of at least three times that power, that is, nearly a 450W one, instead of the 10W you used. The feeding cables should have been accordingly calculated for proper diameter or (better) cross section, securing low voltage drop for that current magnitude instead of their inadequacy causing overheating. Apart of all these above, there is nothing wrong with your test. In fact, using high current, makes it much more reliable as regards the health of the battery under test... The point is to do it correctly and safely...

    • @CamelCasee
      @CamelCasee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ΠάριςΑζής Wrong, the terminal voltage dropped from 12.9v to 4.3v the moment he connected the load. The high internal series resistance of the battery meant the actual combined load resistance was higher than 1 ohm. Also you don't need such a high wattage resistor for tests like this, three times higher is for product design where the resistor will be dissipating such power reliably for long periods of time, the 10w resistor getting overwatted for a few seconds during tests isn't the end of the world as long as it's resistance doesn't change too much, if in doubt put it in distilled water for cooling. Although I'd probably have used a 10 ohm 15w instead.

      @ΠάριςΑζής 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@CamelCasee Where exactly am I wrong? My comment is based on the hypothesis that the battery under test is healthy and the calculations are accordingly done. Apart from that, it is obvious that the result is due to high internal resistance. What do you think that would happen during testing a healthy battery under the conditions you suggest? Have you ever seen the load resistors used inside the test instruments of the market which use the same method of dynamic testing of batteries? Do you know their wattage? They also are used for a few seconds per test as you say...but take a look at one of them before putting such comments...
